Sen. Elizabeth Warren releases new proposal to overhaul ethics rules at the Pentagon that would impose a four-year timeout before top Department of Defense officials could join the contracting industry.

Warren's new plan comes ahead of a Thursday campaign appearance in Virginia. The Democratic presidential candidate cited Patrick Shanahan, the onetime Boeing executive tapped by President Donald Trump to be the next Pentagon chief, as an example of the"obvious potential conflicts of interest" her proposal is designed to prevent.

Warren wrote Thursday that the existing regulations are"far too weak" to limit the undue influence of giant military contractors at the Pentagon. Her plan would also limit former national security officials' ability to work for foreign governments.

If there's anybody still out there that somehow hasn't realized that radical leftist authoritarian communists want to destroy white people and everything they've ever built, including all western society, its about time to wake the hell up. And all white leftists, be ashamed.

Oh, but they want government in complete and total control of everything else, WAY beyond its intended constitutional purpose, just not that one thing.

Anti white anti American radical leftist communists doing absolutely everything they can to block the securing of our southern border, even though that is one of the core fundamental functions of government.

Private contracting for the development and production of WMDs and munitions must be ended.

So let me get this straight she wants the people who actually use our war machines to wait 4yrs before they can go to work for people who build our war machines or train our forces... good way to have out of date less advanced equipment. Stupidest idea ever

A Democrat imposes ethics. Haha Haha. That's a good one

Pocahontas how did u make ur millions ?

Elizabeth Warren is rejecting Fox News, but most of her rivals aren'tDemocratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren made a bold statement this week: She publicly rejected an invitation to participate in a town hall on Fox. She said the conservative network is a 'hate-for-profit racket' that's in business to harm the Democratic Party. Loser’s mentality. Goes to show her disconnect from reality. She needs to get out of her far left bubble and engage Americans that don’t live on the coasts. Hate to say it, but her position in this took strength and courage. We are also backing away cautiously. They all should. It’s propaganda and spreading hate just like how it rise the hate of Jewish in Poland. I have known all my life thisbis how it happened. My parents are from there. And still have nightmares.
